Chapter 426 The Most Potential Newcomer Award
That night, the party in the Hufflepuff common room lasted until the early hours of the morning.
And because of winning the championship, several Hufflepuff students made surprising progress in the Patronus Charm Club at the end of the month.
Kangna also directly summoned the complete Patronus before the end of the club.
Not surprisingly, her patronus is a butterfly.
It was very beautiful. When its wings flapped, it cast a silver light like stars in the auditorium, which was dazzling.
Professor McGonagall looked at the silver butterfly above the auditorium and felt happy for Kangna from the bottom of her heart.
She felt this was the most suitable patron saint for Kangna.
Professor McGonagall still remembered how she looked when she first entered school, nervous, shy, and silent... She was almost always alone when she saw her, and never took the initiative to communicate with anyone else.
However, now Kangna is not only cheerful and confident, but has also gained sincere friendship.
She was really like a butterfly, completing her transformation bit by bit.
"It's a pity that such a good child is not in Gryffindor." Professor McGonagall sighed silently, and she suddenly felt a little envious of Professor Sprout.
Perhaps stimulated by Kangna, after a few minutes, the silver cloud in front of Cedric gradually began to solidify.
The next second, a wild goose appeared above the auditorium.
Cedric held his wand and screamed and jumped with excitement.
"Well done." Professor Lu Ping said with a smile: "You really gave me a big surprise. I always thought that students below sixth grade would have to wait until the end of the school year before anyone would succeed. It seems like I underestimated you.
"Then as a reward, fifty points for Hufflepuff...fifty points for each!"
With the 2 points added by Professor Lupin, plus the bonus points for the Quidditch championship, Hufflepuff's ranking directly became number one, and it was more than 80 points higher than No. [-] Slytherin.
And now there is only one month left until the end of the school year.
It's a pity that Kyle's Patronus didn't add points, otherwise they could have been more stable.
With the House Cup in sight, Hufflepuff's good mood lasted for a long time, and even the weather seemed to be celebrating.
As June approaches, the days become extremely sunny and hot.
This kind of weather is perfect for taking a few pints of ice-cold pumpkin juice, chatting and fishing by the black lake, or playing a few games of crackling poker.
But no, the exam is approaching, and the students cannot be free outside. They must stay in the castle and force themselves to remember the contents of that book.
Even Fred and George, who loved the excitement the most, began to study hard and ran to the library whenever they had time.
The fifth grade students have to take the OWLs (Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination). Whether they can freely study Weasley joke products in the future depends on their results this time.
Kyle didn't get any easier either.
It wasn't because of the exam, but because the paper he wrote for "Transfiguration Today" during the vacation finally came to fruition.
After delaying for so long, Kyle originally thought his paper had failed.
But after a Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall revealed that his final assessment was scheduled for the exam day.
As long as it passes, his paper will be published in the latest issue of "Transfiguration Today".
So recently, Kyle has been reading books related to transfiguration.
In this tense atmosphere, a month passed quickly.
During exam week, the castle was extremely quiet. During lunch, many people complained that the exam was too difficult.
Especially for the Transfiguration exam, Professor McGonagall actually asked them to turn a tortoise into a hare...
"The rabbit I conjured can't run at all, how scary..."
"Yours is pretty good, but mine still has its shell, so points will definitely be deducted."
Then everyone finished lunch and immediately went back upstairs to take the magic spell test.
But as soon as Kyle reached the second floor, he was stopped by Professor McGonagall. She looked a little excited.
"The professors have agreed that you do not need to take the next Charms and Herbology exams." Professor McGonagall said, "Follow me, you have more important things to do now."
"Is this the person from "Transfiguration Today"?" Kyle asked as he walked.
"That's right." Professor McGonagall said, "The exams for fifth and seventh grade students won't start until three in the afternoon. They just have time now."
"How are you nervous?"
Kyle shook his head.
He has been preparing for a month. As long as those people don't deliberately make things difficult, there is nothing to be nervous about.
"That's good." Professor McGonagall quickened her pace, "As long as you can perform normally, you'll be fine."
She took Kyle to a classroom next to the library on the second floor, and then opened the door.
<divclass="contentadv">In the room, three people were sitting there talking and laughing.
There were two middle-aged wizards in their 50s, and between them sat an elderly witch with a stooped figure.
The witch is very old and her face is full of wrinkles, but she looks in good spirits.
After the door was opened, she first glanced at Professor McGonagall, and then quickly shifted her gaze to Kyle next to her. "Minerva, I think this is Kyle, right?"
"You are right, Professor Marchiban." Professor McGonagall turned around and said, "Kyle, this is Professor Gsilda Marchban from the Wizarding Examination Authority..."
"Wrong, Minerva, wrong!" Marchban said with a smile: "The fourth grade exam is not my responsibility. My identity for this hour is the editor-in-chief of "Transfiguration Today"."
Then she looked at Kyle and said, "Minerva should have told you the reason why you were called here."
"Yes." Kyle said, "Assessment for the Most Promising Newcomer Award in "Transfiguration Today"."
"That's right." Professor Marchban said, "Don't be nervous. If that paper was really written by you, the content of this assessment will be very simple. If it's quick, it will be over in ten minutes...
"But before that, I have to explain." She paused before continuing: "We have been busy with another very important thing in recent months, so the assessment originally scheduled for Christmas can only be changed. Now.”
Kyle nodded, expressing his understanding.
Moreover, if she really came over during the Christmas vacation, the trip would probably be in vain.
At that time, he was at Nico's house and could not be found by ordinary people.
……
Professor Marchban didn't have too many pleasantries. After a brief explanation, he went straight to the topic.
She took out a thick stack of parchment from the box on the table.
"First, you need to restate the main points of your paper."
"The difference in stages between partial transformation and multiple transformations..." Kyle blurted out.
After about a few minutes...
"Very good." Professor Marchban nodded and pointed to a teacup on the table, "Then please transform this teacup three times... This is to determine whether you are really capable of completing those experimental demonstrations. "
"No problem." Kyle took out his wand and pointed at the tea cup.
The teacup first turned into a goblet, and then into slippers... a teapot... a quill... parchment.
There were five transformations in total, two more than Professor Marchban required. Although the final parchment was a little out of shape and looked more like a hard board, it was enough to surprise others.
The two middle-aged wizards even stood up directly.
"Are you really just a fourth-grade student?" one of them asked in surprise.
"I can guarantee this, Audley." Professor McGonagall stepped forward and said.
"It's amazing." Another person sighed: "I dare say that even most outstanding graduates cannot achieve five transformations."
While they were talking, Professor Marchbain had put the parchment back into the box.
"Congratulations, your child passed the exam." She smiled and said, "Go and take the exam quickly. It should be too late now."
Kyle was a little surprised. It had only been less than 10 minutes, and it was over?
But it was good if he could pass. He didn't say much. After thanking him, he turned and walked out the door.
Marchiban looked at Kyle's back and seemed to suddenly think of something, so he quickly said: "Wait..."
Kyle, who had reached the door, turned around.
"You will be in fifth grade next year, can you tell me when your birthday is?" Professor Marchban said.
"Late July," Kyle said.
Professor Marchban nodded and said no more.
After Kyle walked out of the room, he looked to the other side and asked, "Audley, what is the age limit they set, 17?"
"have not decided yet."
Audley thought for a while, "Most people are leaning towards sixteen, but last week, someone suggested that it would be okay to be 15, which also received support from some people, but now they are hesitant."
"Oh, changed it again? Who suggested it..."
"Chris," said Audley, "is the Deputy Director of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures."
